Reports of spiking incidents across Stirling’s pubs, bars and clubs have risen sharply in the last two years, according to figures obtained by the Stirling Observer.
Of 11 incidents reported to Police Scotland in the last five years, 10 of those occurred between 2021 and 2022.
It comes after we told how there were a spate of alleged spiking incidents at bars and clubs in the city in October and November last year – as nightclubs opened for the first time in almost 600 days following the easing of Covid restrictions.
